Something Wicked This Way Comes

Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. And two inquisitive boys standing precariously on the brink of adulthood will soon discover the secret of the satanic raree-show's mazes and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy cost of wishes and the stuff of nightmares.

For its day this was a captivating story and I would not recommend any changes.

Which scene was your favorite?

All of the scenes on the carousel were quite appealing to me.

Could you see Something Wicked This Way Comes being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

That sounds interesting and do-able to me. I can only imagine new arising young actors as the two boys and some older popular actor like Bill Paxton as the dad. The Carnival owners could be someone like Tom Waites or Gary Oldman.

Any additional comments?

I recalled my own childhood in around this time the boys were in and can picture that kind of experience enriching my childhood.

The Neon Rain: A Dave Robicheaux Novel

New York Times best-selling author James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux novels began with this first hard-hitting entry in the series. In The Neon Rain, Detective Robicheaux fishes a prostitute's corpse from a New Orleans bayou and finds that no one, not even the law, cares about a dead hooker.

Where does The Neon Rain rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

Neon Rain ranks in the top 70% of all the audio books I've listened to (well over 200).

What other book might you compare The Neon Rain to and why?

I would compare This James Lee Burke Novel to ones by Lee Child or John Sanford, such as the Affair by Child or Bad Blood by Sanford since the authors do such a good job of making the story come to life by their vivid descriptions of what the characters are experiencing.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where Detective Robicheaux is banging bad guys around with a bag of heavy washers etc. was my favorite.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This was a book that I would have listened to in one sitting if I had the time. As it was it took me two days of listening and working outside with my spring planting.

Any additional comments?

I could almost taste the PoBoy sandwiches that the character s were eating and feel the cool breeze blowing across Dave's house boat on Lake Pontchartrain.

What a pity that researcher Nick Thatcher turns out to be so drool-worthy, and that his kisses make Maggie want to sit up and beg.
